Thanks for the quick reply, but I'm still stuck. Is Error #280 the same as Error #279--and, I'm in visual 3.0 is that makes a difference. I've checked all my file sizes and file names and find no problem. There are no new files since the last time I built it, except the Icon, which is not a large file. I'm baffled!!!

THanks! Becky
